How the hell can home field advantage be this big in basketball?
I mean, yes,
-there's no travel so home team is rested (although UVA is just 2&1/2 hrs away)
-home team used to their own court/lighting
-fans going crazy for you on your home court, obviously
It just doesn't seem like it should create the dichotomy between what we saw in Charlottesville a few weeks ago and this.
Not complaining, obviously, I just find the home field advantage gulf so huge in basketball (caveat...doesn't matter with VT woman -:)
